Project description:Temperature-sensitive male sterility is one of the core components for hybrid rice breeding based on two-line system. We previously found that knockout of ARGONAUTE 1d (AGO1d) caused temperature-sensitive male sterility in rice by influencing phased small interfering RNA (phasiRNA) biogenesis and function. However, the specific phasiRNAs and their targets underlying the temperature-sensitive male sterility in ago1d mutant remain to be determined. Here, we demonstrate that the ago1d mutant displays normal female fertility but complete male sterility at low temperature. Through a multi-omics analysis of small RNA, degradome, and transcriptome, we found that 21-nt phasiRNAs account for the greatest proportion of the 21-nt small RNA (sRNA) species in rice anthers and are sensitive to low temperature and markedly down-regulated in ago1d mutant. Moreover, we found that 21-nt phasiRNAs are essential for the mRNA cleavage of a set of fertility- and cold tolerance-associated genes, such as EDT1, TDR, OsPCF5 and OsTCP21, directly or indirectly determined by AGO1d-mediated gene silencing. The loss-of-function of 21-nt phasiRNAs can result in up-regulation of their targets and causes varying degrees of defects in male fertility and grain setting. Our results highlight the essential functions of 21-nt phasiRNAs in temperature-sensitive male sterility in rice and suggest their promising application in two-line hybrid rice breeding in the future.

Project description:Phased secondary siRNAs (phasiRNAs) are broadly present in the reproductive tissues of flowering plants. Monocots generate 21- and 24-nt phasiRNAs by miR2118 and miR2275 respectively from noncoding RNAs with spatial-temporal specificity during anther development. However, which ARGONAUTES (AGOs) associate with these two miRNAs remains elusive. Here we show that rice AGO1d, specifically expressed in anther wall cells before and during meiosis, associates with both miR2118 and miR2275 to mediate phasiRNA biogenesis. Furthermore, AGO1d also binds to miR2118-triggered 21-nt phasiRNAs preferentially with a 5’-terminal uridine, suggesting a dual role in phasiRNA biogenesis and function. Depletion of AGO1d causes reduction of 21- and 24-nt phasiRNAs and temperature-sensitive sterility. Anthers of the ago1d mutants at lower temperatures mainly display defects in tapetal cells and vacuolation during pollen formation. These results uncover an essential role of AGO1d in rice anther development at lower temperatures and demonstrate coordinative roles of AGO proteins during reproductive phasiRNA biogenesis and function

Project description:Chemical hybridization agent (CHA)-induced male sterility is becoming one of the most useful tools for the crop heterosis in seed production. We had previously discovered monosulfuron ester sodium (Mes), an acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor of the herbicide sulfonylurea family, could induce rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) male sterility. To investigate the mechanism of Mes inducing male sterility, a cytological analysis and comparative transcriptome analysis were performed between Mes-treated plants leaves and different developmental stage anthers and those of the Mock-treated plants. Cytological analysis exhibited that Mes destroyed plastids ultrastructure and depressed the materials accumulation during anther development and maturation process. Comparative transcriptome analysis identified a total of 1501 transcripts differentially expressed in the leaves and different developmental stage anthers. Subcellular localization analysis, functional analysis and pathway analysis were carried out to obtain the clues that plastid was the seriously damaged organelle, and many genes involved in carbon and lipid metabolism and cellular transport differentially expressed. Detailed expression pattern analysis of genes related with these functions were conducted and verified by RT-PCR. In addition, several transcription factors, protein kinases and hormone related genes were identified. Carbohydrate content analysis confirmed carbon metabolism were influenced by Mes. Taken together, we proposed a putative action mode that Mes inhibited activity of acetolactate synthase, which localized in plastid in plants, and then disturbed the normal supply of carbon and lipid metabolite for anther development, finally displayed male sterility. This results have important significance for uncovering the metabolic gene regulation during anther development and may provide more potential targets for developing new male sterility inducing CHAs in rapeseed breeding. Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) plants were foliar sprayed with 0.1μg mL-1 Monosulfuron ester sodium (Mes) solution containing 50ppm DMF and 5ppm Tween 80 for about 15 ml per plant. Young leaves (C2Y1, C2Y2, C2Y3; T2Y1, T2Y2, T2Y3) of the main inflorescences and developing anthers (including small buds (C2S1, C2S2, C2S3; T2S1, T2S2, T2S3), middle anthers (C2M1, C2M2, C2M3; T2M1, T2M2, T2M3), and large anthers (C2L1, C2L2, C2L3; T2L1, T2L2, T2L3)) from Mes-treated and Mock-treated plants were collected for each experiment. Each tissue has three independent biological replicates.

Project description:Anthers are the male reproductive floral organs, but loss of the 24-nt class of phased small-interfering RNAs (phasiRNAs) may confer temperature-sensitive male sterility in maize. 24-nt phasiRNAs from 176 loci are abundant coordinately in fertile maize anthers after the last periclinal divisions are complete, all four wall layers are formed, and meiosis has initiated in the pollen mother cells. In this study, we found male sterile maize ms23, ms32, and bhlh122 mutants with various degrees of tapetal defects lack 24-PHAS mRNA precursors and 24-nt phasiRNAs, which were not affected in another male sterile mutant, bhlh51. Transcription from most of 24-PHAS loci depends on bHLH122 while bHLH122 and Dcl5 transcription depends on both Ms23 and Ms32. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that 24-nt phasiRNAs biogenesis is primarily controlled at multiple layers by MS23 and MS32, with distinctive action on 24-PHAS transcription by bHLH122, creating a transcription factor cascade in maize tapetal cells.

Project description:N-terminal acetylation of proteins is a key modification in eukaryotes; however, our understanding of its biological function in plants is limited. Naa50 is the catalytic subunit of the protein N-terminal acetyltransferase NatE complex. We previously showed that the absence of Naa50 led to sterility in Arabidopsis thaliana. In the present study, we show that a lack of Naa50 in Arabidopsis resulted in collapsed and sterile pollen grains. Further study revealed that the mutation of Naa50 accelerated programmed cell death in the tapetum. Expression pattern analysis showed that Naa50 was specifically expressed in tapetal cells from anthers at stages 9–11 of pollen development, when tapetal programmed cell death occurs. Reciprocal cross analyses indicated that the male sterility of naa50 plants was due to sporophytic effects. Transcriptome sequencing of closed buds showed that the deletion of Naa50 resulted in up-regulation of the cysteine protease-coding gene CEP1 and impaired the expression of several genes that function in pollen wall deposition and pollen mitosis. Our findings suggest that Naa50 regulates cell degradation in the tapetum during anther development and plays an important role in pollen development by affecting several pathways.

Project description:A cascade of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors guide tapetal cell development in maize anthers, using proteins conserved in Arabidopsis and rice but deployed with a distinctive timing. Anthers were dissected and staged to be 1500 μm in length (+/- 100 μm) and samples were compared between mutants and fertile siblings on an Agilent 4x44 custom microarray. Analysis included MS32 which is another basic helix-loop-helix factor that acts later during tapetal differentiation.

Project description:Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is an important economic crop, used mainly for the production of textile fiber. Using a space mutation breeding technique, a novel photosensitive genetic male sterile mutant CCRI9106 was isolated from the wild-type upland cotton cultivar CCRI040029. To use CCRI9106 in cotton hybrid breeding, it is of great importance to study the molecular mechanisms of its male sterility. Here, histological and iTRAQ-facilitated proteomic analyses of anthers were performed to explore male sterility mechanisms of the mutant. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy of the anthers showed that the development of pollen wall in CCRI9106 was severely defective with a lack of exine formation. At the protein level, 6,121 high-confidence proteins were identified and 365 of them showed differential expression patterns between mutant and wild-type anthers. The proteins up- or down-regulated in MT anthers were mainly involved in exine formation, protein degradation, calcium ion binding and etc. These findings provide valuable information on the proteins involved in anther and pollen development, and contribute to elucidate the mechanism of male sterility in upland cotton.

Project description:Male sterility is an important trait in hybrid crop breeding. Thermo-sensitive genic male sterility (TGMS) lines, which are male-sterile at restrictive (high) temperatures but convert to male-fertile at permissive (low) temperatures, have been widely utilized in two-line hybrid rice breeding3. However, the molecular mechanism underlying TGMS remains unclear. Here we show that the rice (Oryza sativa L.) thermo-sensitive genic male sterile gene 5 (tms5) locus, which in 2010 was present in cultivars occupying more than 70% (2.4 million hectares) of two-line hybrid rice-growing land in China, confers the TGMS trait through a loss-of-function mutation of RNase ZS1, resulting in failure to mediate mRNA decay of three temperature-responsive ubiquitin fusion ribosomal protein L40 genes (UbL40). TMS5 encodes an evolutionarily conserved endonuclease, RNase ZS1. RNase ZS1 can process tRNAs in vitro, but does not do so in vivo due to its localization in the cytoplasm. Defective RNase ZS1 in tms5 plants leads to over-accumulation of UbL401, UbL402 and UbL404 mRNAs at restrictive but not permissive temperatures. Furthermore, over-expression of UbL401 and UbL404 in wild-type plants causes male sterility, while knockdown of UbL401 and UbL404 in tms5 partially restores its fertility. Our results uncover a novel mechanism of RNase ZS1-mediated UbL40 mRNA decay which controls TGMS in rice and has potential applications in hybrid breeding not only of rice but also of other crops. Examination of differences in mRNA accumulation between 93-11, NIL5 and NIL8.

Project description:Male sterility is used in the production of hybrid seeds of several crops and can effectively improve the breeding efficiency of cotton hybrids. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is closely associated with the tapetum and pollen development, but their relationship in cotton male fertility remains unclear. In this study, we comprehensively compared the cytology and proteomics of the anthers from an Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) material, Shida 98 (WT), and its nearly-isogenic male sterile line Shida 98A (MS). Cytological observations indicated delayed PCD in the tapetum and defects in microspore development in MS anthers. Further results revealed that the ROS homeostasis in MS anthers was disrupted. Proteomic results showed that proteins differentially expressed between WT and MS anthers were mainly related to redox homeostasis, protein folding, and apoptotic signaling pathways. HSP70 and APX1 were identified as the two key proteins during cotton anther development. Exogenous application of HSP70 inhibitor increased the level of H2O2 and decreased the activity of APX1 and pollen viability in anthers. Altogether, the proteomics results imply HSP70 and APX1 being the key players jointly regulating tapetal PCD and pollen development by mediating ROS homeostasis. These results provide insights into the proteins associated with male fertility in cotton.
